One-sided affairs were the theme Tuesday night in the Wasaren with just one boys run decided by less than 28 points.  Among the dominant victories was Hoosick Falls rolling over Hoosic Valley 90-47, one night after pinning a 71-47 defeat on the Saints of Saratoga Catholic who were previously unbeaten in Wasaren play.

Here’s how things played out last night across the Wasaren.

Sophie Phillips drove to the paint and scored on a teardrop with 0:07 remaining giving the Indians a 44-42 victory over Tamarac in a battle between the Wasaren’s top squads.

Both teams entered with perfect league marks and the host Bengals ran out to a 14-7 lead after one, only to see the Indians battle back to take a 25-24 advantage into the break.

A 10-5 third period gave the lead back to Tamarac setting up the Cambridge comeback over the final eight minutes highlighted by Phillips game-winning deuce.

Freshman Fiona Mooney led all scorers with 17 points for Cambridge while Phillips finished with 13 points for the Indians who improve to 10-0 on the season with the “W”.

Tamarac, (9-2), was led by Emily Erickson and Renna Poulin who each netted 13 points on the night.
